Reasons for Faith

This month we will be addressing important questions that we may hope no one asks. There

will be two short talks from Kent and Kelly Morgan (previously Kelly Abernethy). Their topics

are: “How could a good God allow suffering?” and “There can’t be just one true religion!”

(Spoiler alert: We think there is.)

The main talk will be presented by Vikki Porter. Her topic will be, “Why can’t God just

forgive us? Why did Jesus have to die?” The death of Jesus for our sins is at the heart of the

gospel, the good news. Increasingly, however, what the Christian church has considered

good news is considered by the rest of our culture to be bad news. For many it seems

primitive, ludicrous or even sinister, and certainly confusing. It’s a very good exercise to

work through the question and ponder how we might explain the necessity of the cross to a

genuine enquirer.

We look forward to seeing you.
